changing date/time string format javascript [duplicate]

Question

I know there are many functions in javascript that changes the date format, but I want to change the format of the string.

How can I change

2018-05-10T21:12:08Z

to

2018-05-10 9:12:08 AM

The date function doesn't work since it's not a date type.

I would probably get each part of the date individually first. (year/month/day) then get the time (h:m:s) then get the am/pm part. That way you can format each part and then concatenate them much easier. Start here: w3schools.com/js/js_date_formats.asp — Kevin Marmet

Look into Date.parse() first, or you can use an external library like moment.js — ionizer

Turn the string into a Date, turn the Date into a string… — deceze

You can use moment library to do all kind of date/time operations.

var dt = moment('2018-05-10T21:12:08Z');
console.log(dt.format('YYYY-MM-DD h:mm:ss A'));
